Its been almost 3 years since two U-S embassies in Africa were bombed.
It was a terrorist attack that killed 224 people - 12 of them Americans. Now, 4 of the men charged with the bombings in Tanzania and
Kenya, have been found guilty in a New York federal court.
Mary Jo White - U.S. Attorney
Today's guilty verdicts are a victory ..."
Rashed Al-Owhali (All-a-wall-ee) of Saudi Arabia, K-K Mohamed of
Tanzania, Wadih El-Hage of Texas, and Mohamed Odeh (O-Day) of Jordan
were convicted of conspiring to kill Americans in the bombings. All
four could face life in prison -- but two of the defendants, Al-Owhali
(All-a-wall-ee) and Mohamed -- also convicted on murder charges because
of their active participation in the bombings - could now face the death
penalty. Relatives of the victims were pleased with the verdicts.
Edith Bartley - Lost Family Member in bombing
The law was on our side but the verdicts do not minimize the lives in
Tanzania and Kenya that today ..
Clara Aligagna - Lost Son in Bombing
I hope that they get the message that as Americans we are not going to
sit back , we wont take this lightly
Still --- the alleged mastermind of the attacks - Osama Bin Laden --
remains at large. Although Bin Laden - the leader of a terrorist
organization in Afghanistan -- has been indicted in this case - he has
never been found.

"We remain permamnently committed to finding every single participant in these crimes."

With convictions on all 302 counts in this case -- security remains

One hundred forty years after the Civil War began, the battle over Confederate rights still rages on in Craig County.
Last week a judge said no Confederate flags would be flown on Courthouse property... this week Craig County residents say they'll keep Confederate flags flying high on their OWN property.

You'd be hard pressed to travel more than a mile through Craig County without seeing the infamous "Southern Cross," -- perhaps in response to the judge's order. But the flag in question was the Second Flag of the Confederacy....

What puzzles residents like Rice is why a Confederate War Memorial standing on courthouse property is considered appropriate, but a Confederate flag is considered "INappropriate."
